Hello,

I didn't know that they were using vendor naming for rate limiting.

I have two questions though

1) Does Google allow their time servers to be directly used?

2) Can we apply for a vendor name like "oe" so at least they can 
throttle/rate limit their inbound traffic?

Because at current state, timesyncd is unreliable and doesn't have sane 
defaults enabled. pool.ntp.org is a community effort but has thousands of 
servers that are available for service. Not just 4 Google controlled servers.
